		My discussion post for the day:
	</p>
	<blockquote>
		<p>
			Logic programming basically encodes a problem in terms of logic the way a human might think about something.
			The computer can&apos;t think that way, and has to resort to trying all possible solutions, but it still checks these solutions against the human logic provided.
			I can see why logic programming might be used for simulating decision-making by experts.
			I agree too that using the right tool for the right problem is usually the most effective solution.
		</p>
		<p>
			As for people that say computers merely process the data we give them, and are therefore not at the level of artificial intelligence yet, that&apos;s basically what our brains do too.
			They merely process incoming data to make decisions and operate the body, based both on their hard-wiring and past data acquired through the senses.
			I can&apos;t say for sure how close we are to developing real artificial intelligence, or if we&apos;ve done so already, but it&apos;s only a matter of time.
			Humans have had a head start on machines, as we&apos;ve been in evolution for quite some time, but there&apos;s nothing magical about how we operate.
			In time, we&apos;ll be able to get machines to mimic what we do pretty well, and they&apos;ll reach our level.
			I wouldn&apos;t be surprised if we can get them to think just like us, only much faster than we ever could and without need for sleep.

	<h2>Drawing experiments</h2>
	<p>
		My experimentation continued today.
		I think I&apos;ve figured out why I can&apos;t get larger items to look good.
		It&apos;s my fill technique.
		I use a sketchy-looking method, which works great for backgrounds, but doesn&apos;t work at all for foregrounds.
		I need to fill in with better details on foregrounds.
		In large images, I still don&apos;t have the skill for that, but I think I can make mid-sized images work.
